Wild Fires

NW of Pampa



At this time, pasture fires are raging out of control in Gray, Roberts and Carson counties. Sunset should bring some relief with reduced wind and higher humidity.

Relations/Relationships

Another love letter



Hello, I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I am interested in getting to know more about you. I saw your profile on dating site. I guarantee that I am a nice lady and know how to treat a men... I search a man for all my life for long relationship. Possible having found out about each other more we can join. I'm looking for a serious relationship, so please don't reply, if you aren't serious as well. I want to find kind and reliable partner in life. I with the big pleasure will answer your letter.

Please write on my personal e-mail: sfartom@gmail.com

It is better to try and fail than to give up and never know if we could have relations.



Dear whatever your name is,

Thanks for your interest. Sorry to say, even though you're very attractive, I'll have to pass on your offer.

You see, English is a tricky language and maybe you're taking advantage of that. Let's say we did get together and shortly after we're married you say "Do you want the relations?".

Of course, me being the lusty varmit I am, I say "You Betcha!"

Then, the next thing I know, we've got your mom and dad, your older sister and baby brother and maybe even an aunt or uncle or distant cousin or two coming to live with us.

So, I will have to say...so that you will understand it..."I take the pass."

Regards,
Mike

P.S. You said: "It is better to try and fail than to give up and never know if we could have relations."

Uh, that's why Viagra was invented.

World's Fastest Roughnecks

So says the caption. They do make a good connection, if I do say so myself.

Much better than any other connection vids on YouTube.

AT&T = P.O'd

Got this in my ISP mailbox the other day.



Important Notice Regarding Discontinuation of LAUNCHcast Plus Service

Beginning in February 2009, CBS Radio will power LAUNCHcast Radio. LAUNCHcast Radio will still be accessible from the Yahoo! site. However, it will be hosted and operated by CBS Radio rather than by Yahoo!. As part of the transition to CBS Radio, the LAUNCHcast Plus premium service will be closing on February 12, 2009.

Existing AT&T customers will no longer receive LAUNCHcast Plus as part of their AT&T membership after February 12, 2009.

Even though the LAUNCHcast Plus subscription service will be discontinued, you will still have access to most of your favorite preprogrammed LAUNCHcast stations through the new CBS Radio-powered experience. The difference is that those radio stations will be supported by advertising and there will no longer be a commercial-free option.

With LAUNCHcast Radio powered by CBS Radio, you will also get access to some new features, including a new streaming radio player and CBS Radio's wide variety of local music, news, talk, and sports programming. The new radio player will also be compatible with Macintosh computers and Firefox and Safari browsers. Not all existing LAUNCHcast features will continue, however. Your custom "My Station" and "Moods" Stations will no longer be available after February 12, 2009. Additionally, you will no longer be able to add "Influencers" to your personalized "My Station."

There is no need to cancel or do anything with your service to make the transition to CBS Radio. Yahoo! will not transfer any of your account information to CBS Radio. You will not have to pay for the new LAUNCHcast service since it will be supported by advertising.

We hope you will enjoy our new radio experience and the broader range of radio stations that it will bring.

MORE INFORMATION

For more information about LAUNCHcast Radio and the changes to the service, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.

Radio station lineup is subject to change and we cannot guarantee that all stations will be available after the transition to CBS Radio.



My bill keeps going up and they keep discontinuing services. I can't recall all that they've quit offering, but they discontinued their alt binaries access and their Briefcase barely works. I've got the investment in the DSL modem, but I've been thinking of going total cable: phone, TV and internet access for about the amount of money I'm paying now for my phone and internet.

I listened to my LAUNCHcast quite often, at least once or twice a week, sometimes more while I'm cruising the 'net. One reason I clung to Internet Explorer is because the service wouldn't work with Firefox, but after adding the "View in IE tab" to my Firefox browser, I could listen to it.

OTOH, I've checked out the CBS/AOL radio and while it doesn't have the features I liked about LAUNCHcast (I could click through a song I didn't like), the new service does have a wide variety of online radio stations.

Still...this was a service promised to me when I signed up and I think they owe me a discount! I am going to call AT&T tomorrow, see if they can knock some off my bill. I think people would be surprised at how accommodating these companies can be, especially since they're loathe to lose customers.

Your 80s Song is "1999"



If you were transported back to the 80s, your life would be all about living large.

You love the excess that the 80s represented, even if the party wasn't meant to last.

You think of the 80s as a time of wild fashions, big money, and fast cars.

And that's a world you wouldn't mind being a part of!
